There were many good scenes, but in the end not a single one of the many skillfully played balls ended up in the goal. The DFB team missed out on a win against Ukraine that would have boosted the spirit of optimism for the European Championship.
The German national football team failed to get past a 0:0 draw against Ukraine in the penultimate test before the European Championship. The team of national coach Julian Nagelsmann was unable to further ignite euphoria for the big home tournament in Nuremberg.
The zero was at the back
The DFB team missed numerous opportunities against Ukraine. Eleven days before the opening match against Scotland, Nagelsmann repeatedly grabbed his head in despair because the ball didn’t end up in the goal.
However, goalkeeper Manuel Neuer’s comeback resulted in a clean sheet – not least because the Bayern goalkeeper made several courageous saves in front of 42,789 spectators in the sold-out Max-Morlock Stadium. However, Neuer made a big mistake shortly before the end, but it had no consequences.
There is a lack of effectiveness and determination
To attack for the fourth European Championship title, more effectiveness and determination in attack are needed. The DFB team was particularly unlucky when debutant Maximilian Beier hit the crossbar (61st minute).
